Abstract

Iran remains a unspecific threat to the United States , Britain and Israel . Its controversial war and nuclear weapon programs have been dubbed the most possible cause of a global nuclear confrontation . This has become the major cause of alarm by the United States of America and the State of Israel . Iran has nuclear power facilities which are suspected of developing nuclear warheads

Iran has refused to honor the nuclear proliferation treaty and has limited the International Atomic Energy Agency updates and access to these facilities Subsequently , it has rebuffed Israel and the US and has indicated it will strike either using its defense missiles

This is from the perspective of the Iran 's Mullahs perspectives and objectives which have no consistency and eludes the CIA

According to Fallows 2004 , US planners have been unable to speculate what is the speed of the Iran nuclear experts in developing the weapon Besides , Iran is too close to terrorist organizations and has become the voice of the Arab world through financing and supporting terrorism Iran , according to the CIA , will cross one of the red lines when it produces enough enriched uranium for a bomb and another when it has weapons in enough places that it would be impossible to remove them in one strike (Fallows 2004

Iran 's current involvement in Iraq and Israel 's potential involvement with Iran is the context of why Iran is more of a threat than the world super powers and a major cause of alarm . If Iran is able to...
